What to Do at Wat Suthat Thepwararam?
Wat Suthat (Giant Swing) is a famous Buddhist temple dating back to the late 18th century. It’s mostly known for its towering red teak swing standing at 21 m. Due to its towering height, it can be seen from other areas in Bangkok Old Town. Originally used in a Brahminic ritual to celebrate the rice harvest, the swing was later incorporated into Buddhist ceremonies.
It’s adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures of mythical creatures, and its impressive height makes for spectacular photoshoots. Wat Suthat is also home to impressive structures, such as a large assembly hall with beautiful murals depicting the life of Buddha, and a golden pagoda that houses various Buddhist relics.
